Raleigh Motus Grand Tour Grey ST Hub Gear 26" Electric Bike
The Motus series of Raleigh electric bikes are among the best hybrid electric bikes the British cycling marque has to offer. The grey Step Through Raleigh Motus Grand Tour has great range and performs well no matter what road conditions you throw at it, and with its refined looks is a machine that looks as good as it rides.
Comfort and convenience are not compromises for a decent hybrid electric bike. It has 63mm travel forks and a comfortable saddle that make for a really nice ride both on your arms and bum, but with its low maintenance, reliable electric and mechanical drivetrain will still do the distance should you need it.
The 250w Bosch Active Line Plus motor has been designed with the city in mind, with a smooth start that gently leads to maximum speed without pulling you too hard. The motor is powered by a 400 Watt hour battery that will give you up to 110 miles in Eco mode – a realistic 70 mile ride in a day would challenge all but the fittest of riders!
Electric bikes are ‘pedal assist’, meaning that much of the power that drives the grey Raleigh Motus Grand Tour ST Hub Gear Electric Bike is from you! This is why the Nexus 8 speed hub gearing is so important, as you’re the one powering it ultimately. Hub gear systems are far lower maintenance than derailleur gear systems, making this a reliable machine that will require little maintenance.
Being a road biased hybrid electric bike, the Motus Grand Tour has a full set of mudguards and lighting system that is plumbed into the main battery so you can see and be seen as long as there is energy in the battery to drive you.
